To commemorate its 100th anniversary, IBM commissioned a unique public exhibition called THINK. The exhibition is an examination and a celebration of the human approach to understanding and improving the world through science and technology.
Upon entering the exhibition, visitors pass an LED wall showing live data feeds in vivid color. Once inside, visitors encounter a glowing forest of screens. A breathtaking film charts man’s patterns of progress and understanding. Sosolimited programmed the five interactives that appear on the screens at the end of the film. These interactives explore the history of our progress through Seeing, Mapping, Understanding, Believing, and Acting.
The interactives are visually striking and intuitive, providing visitors with an expansive collection of images, stories, and interviews. These multitouch software applications were designed to seamlessly display large collections of data at high frame rates. We developed the software with OpenFrameworks libraries.
The project was a collaboration between SYPartners, Ralph Applebaum & Associates, George P Johnson, Mirada, and Sosolimited.

It’s worth recalling that in December 2016, the Commissioner for Human Resources Science and Technology, H.E. Dr Martial De Paul Ikounga signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Secretary-General of the Association of African Universities (AAU), Professor Etienne Ehouan Ehile.
AAU is the voice of higher education in Africa and has been a lead agency in implementing the continental vision since its founding under the OAU. The African Union Agenda 2063 calls for an education and skills revolution to meet the human resource needs for actualising Africa’s social-economic development. As such, the African university occupies a strategic role in ensuring that our education systems are oriented towards promoting innovation, critical thinking, pan Africanism and entrepreneurial orientations while addressing Africa’s challenges and optimising on its opportunities.
The partnership between the AUC and the AAU over the last decade has witnessed the strengthening of the African higher education space through the promotion of intra-African academic mobility, harmonisation of qualifications for mutual recognition across the Member States; and promotion of a culture of continuous quality improvement through the AU’s African Quality Rating Mechanism.
The AAU has been able to mobilise African academia to appropriate the continental vision of Agenda 2063, and it has helped to build accountable leadership and quality in research and scholarship
GOAL: To increase engagements between the AAU and North America and the Diaspora
Objectives
• Mobilize funds for the advancement of Higher Education in Africa.
• Promote and develop relations between the African Academic Diaspora and African Higher Education Institutions (HEI).
• Promote sister university collaborations
• Promote and develop research and education networks among African Higher Education Institutions and their North American counterparts
• Promote corporate and non-profit America to support African Higher Education Institutions
• Sensitize potential development partners to the education needs of African HEIs
• Promote student and staff exchange
• Promote a role for Higher Education in US-Africa relations
• Develop and implement comprehensive international Initiatives for senior leadership at public research universities to facilitate seamless integration of international dimensions into the learning, discovery and engagement missions of our AAU institutions.
• Foster the development of globally competent students, internationally engaged faculty, and institutions capable of addressing global challenges.
• Identify critical issues, gather information, and create opportunities for AAU members to discuss challenges and share knowledge with their NA counterparts.
• Serve as the leading advocate for advancing the broad interests of the AAU in NA
• Support the development of innovative approaches and solutions to African Higher Education

Today was all about Nellie the Boston Terrier who is only 2yrs old but has gone through a lot for such a young dog. Socialised and trained from a very young age she was walking off lead and going everywhere with her owner Shelley with no issues.

Better data is becoming available on economic activity within countries, often much exceeding the available information of economic activity across countries. This creates new research opportunities for testing economic theory, analyzing market structures and the sources of market segmentation, and making predictions of how economic shocks propagate across space. The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers from urban economics, industrial organization, health economics, and international trade to study production and trade within and across countries.
